St. Peter Parish Rosary ProgramThe prayer warriors of the US Grace Force (USGF) team are in the thanksgiving phase of the 54 day novena. We give thanks in as much as we have faith-faith that our request will be granted. This is so because as Fr. Heilman declares, “We are on the right (correct) side, the side that most values what God values.” He explains that the USGF spiritual soldiers battle for God and His truth; for LIFE –that of the unborn, the afflicted, and the elderly; for LIBERTY- freedom from oppression and injustice; freedom to live, work, and worship as we choose, and the PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS – God wants us to live lives full of joy, of faith, hope and of love (charity). The two main intentions, besides our personal requests, are: for restoration of faith in the U.S.A, and for the Universal Church. ~US Grace ForcePray the Rosary Daily! It is an Act of Fortitude for overcoming obstacles through perseverance.​​Rosary Program UpdateSt. Peter Parish Rosary Program tally through September 13, 2019: 47,387.
